[quote name='Shinpachi']Well, it's made by CLAMP, so that's already implied it's for girls right there. I still enjoyed it as a unique approach to the robot love concept.[/QUOTE]
Chobits isn't just for girls, there's a good amount of male-oriented humor. But it also isn't strictly shounen... I would call it gender equal.
Glad it's getting a re-release, already have the dvd set and recommend it.
